How the events will work

Each event will have a heat followed by a knockout round, events will not run if they have less than 4 entries. Events will take place over an in game month but not every event will happen every month schedule will be released at the start of each wars

So what do i need from you to join, well fill in the following form and you will be accepted. You have £100,000 to spend at the start, remember to keep some of that back for entries for this and future wars as if you ever run out of money you cannot compete anymore. All entrants must be able to check the sign up at least once this week and must be willing to post regularly

should probably clarify at this stage that i am not a brand new member, i used to have an account here but closed it down and stopped using this site a few years ago as it was under my real name as user name, ran a few successful sign ups too (though never any awards i'm not that good) so you can trust me i won't just not run this. No i will not reveal who i was so don't ask or guess and if you know please don't say cheers.

dami you need to fill out the entire form, yeah ggrive great to have you onboard, hope to be able to start the sign up by the end of this week but wil have to improve take up quite a lot as we need a decent amount of people

starting to fill up abit now which is good as we need plenty of players in this sign up, interesting to see the different approaches taken by everyone. sloppyderek in particular seems to be taking quite a bit of a risk

thanks for joining almondo, we really need to get quite a lot more people in, so if any of you know other people in other sign ups you are competing in maybe you could suggest joining this one . Ideally need a minimum of 30, and i was hoping to start setting up the database by sunday night

cheers for that, remember everyone more details about the start of the sign up coming tomorrrow and i will need replies from you regarding that between tomorrow and the 23rd when the sign up will kick off with its first update

Ok everyone thanks for signing up now i need to know which events you wish to enter this year, you send these by PM or post in this thread whichever you prefer the deadline for these submissions is 9pm on the 23rd of December, i will still be accepting new applications until 12noon on the same day as well. To find out how much money you have left to spend please see the 2nd post and for the cost of events see the first post. Also entering these events with you will be the House robots, these are some of the best robots from the original series who will be coming back trying to stop you winning these events, details about these will be announced in the near future.

excellent adam joe and dami. remember everyone events will not run unless there are three entrants, for tag team that would require 3 teams of two, If you want to discuss with people about being tag team partners you can discuss either in this thread or through pm's between each other

sloppy derek you have only £10,000 left so you cannot afford to enter everything so you will have to choose where you want to target

Hatton90 only if every event ends up up running, although admittedly if one more person enters the world wars then all your events will be running, there will be ways for you too rejoin after losing all your money but you will be at a serious disadvantage and have a new robot

Remember people i am still accepting new applicants for the next few days so join up if your interested, also if you have a rivalry with anyone on the forum on this signup you can challenge them to a grudge match to see who really is the best. Or if you have a budding friendship why not team up and take part in the tag team terror

so people can keep track (i'll update as you let me know although for obvious reasons grudge match and challenge belt will be kept secret) in no particular order (seedings will be announced when the schedule is)

sorry stonini screenshots are only available to competition winners although i will give everyone a detailed update on how exactly your player is playing, you should have enough info in the form you filled out to work out your players strengths

remember the deadline for new applications for the first wars is 12noon on the 23rd.
the deadline for submissions on which tournament you are entering is 9pm on the same date, at this time the schedule of the rounds will be released and more than likely the first update will come that night

sorry ishu you can't pick and choose like that, you'll have to take the gamble on the full squad or the gamble on playing in the u18's, the advantgage is your opponents must take the same risk so they may be easier to beat

thanks for changing that ishu, just two more needed now to let me know there choices although any of you are allowed to change your choices or add to them, remember i'm still accepting new applicants, database is nearly finished now so i will shortly be running some test runs

I can now reveal the challenge belt holder has been randomly chosen through a random number generator, the lucky holder of this belt is................................................ ........ greenwhitearmy

Anyone who entered a tournament that is not running due to lack of interest will receive their money back, remember at any time you can pm me with a challenge to the challenge belt holder (greenwhitearmy) or a grudge match battle

i'm hoping to do the September update either tonight or tomorrow, in a bit i will have info about how much each player is earning at there club, i put into the editor that everyone will get a contract of £100 a week but when the game starts although everyone has a one year contract the range of wages are quite great so i will give you all the info.

Also some info for everyone, the house robots will be taking part in the competition however they will not be allowed to play in the semi and finals so if you were due to face them at this stage you will get a bye
